Getting Around In the Guide

This section describes how to change channels and move around a program guide.

Digit Buttons (0–9)

You can point quickly to any channel in the program guide by entering the channel number with the digit buttons (0–9). For example, to point to channel 290, press the digits 2-9-0, on the remote control.

Scrolling Channel By Channel

The programs that you see on the TV screen make up one section—or page— of the total program guide. You can scroll one line at a time using the arrows: highlight other times with the left and right arrows; highlight other channels with the up and down arrows.

Scrolling Page By Page

If you want to scroll up or down through the program guide faster, press the CHAN buttons on the remote control. The highlight scrolls a page at a time.

Scrolling Forward and Reverse

To scroll forward in time in 90-minute increments, press the remote control’s green button while in DIRECTV mode. To scroll backward in time in 90-minute increments, press the remote control’s red button while in DIRECTV mode.

Note: Your DIRECTV Receiver can store up to three and a half days of programming information. Getting three days of information can take up to 6 hours to download when the receiver is first connected. The receiver will take more time to download the remaining half-day of information.

Tuning to a Program

To tune directly to a currently showing program listed in the guide, highlight the program and press SELECT.

Program Details

To see information about a future program in the guide, highlight the program and press INFO.

You can get the available information about any program (including currently showing programs) in the guide by highlighting the program and pressing INFO.

The options available on the information screen depend on the type of program you select:

•Watch Now to tune to that channel if the program's currently showing

•Purchases to go to the Purchases screen (see page 28 for more information)

•Autotune to set up a timer, which will display a prompt when the program is about to begin. If you aren’t already tuned to the correct channel when the program begins, the Autotune feature will tune to the correct channel for you.

•Showings to see what other times the program is available
